observations, musings and wonderings on the experience of being human
...and maybe a little brand and marketing commentary

Who looks outside, dreams.
Who looks inside, awakens."

Learner - Strengthsfinder 2.0

Here we go again, the 4th installment in my personal look at my top 5 themes. This time I'm looking at the theme Learner.

My Strengthsfinder 2.0 report said, "People who are especially talented in the Learner theme have a great desire to learn and want to continuously improve. In particular, the process of learning, rather than the outcome, excites them."

People who know me well will confirm this one for you, particularly the part about process versus learning. That's not to say I'm someone who relishes processes themselves, but that I love being in the throes of learning itself.

This learner theme is one of my trifecta of themes that seem to be all parts of one - Input, Intellection and Learner. The seem to all be about information - gathering it, thinking about it, learning more.

I see Learner at work when I am excited about a project when it is new, but then find myself restlessly yearning to move on when the project reaches a more mature stage.

Hi! I just stumbled upon your blog. My top three strengths were Input, Learner, and Intellection. (Followed by Futuristic and Positivity.) I hope to write posts about these, and when I do so, I'd love to share my insights with you.

I draw on my experience and knowledge in creativity, brand strategy, marketing communications and psychological type to help people and their organizations understand who they are, what they they do, why they do it and what they're capable of becoming.
